Rebecca Rorick Smith has been involved with Argentine Tango since 1999. Learning first at the University of Oregon, she became an insatiable fixture of the northwest tango scene. Her passion for tango led her to study from a long list of tango masters. In 2001 she helped open the not-for-profit Tango Center in Eugene, OR which hosts Tango instructors from around the globe. Teaching now for almost 8 years, Rebecca is well known in United States for her comprehension of many styles of tango, as a versiltle dancer, and a strong female lead. In 2004 she started working internationally.  Teaching recently in many of India's burgeoning communities. In the last year she has been teaching tango at Southern Oregon University in Ashland.

Eric Lindgren

Eric Lindgren's experience dancing in the milongas of Buenos Aries and in the States has made him familiar with many different styles of tango.  Drawn by his own rigorous aesthetic toward the most beautiful movements, he possesses an incredible patience for teasing out the mysteries of what makes tango feel wonderful.  His devotion to exploring fine details of placement, dynamic, quality of movement, is inspiring.  Eric has a deep appreciation for the joy and challenge of dancing tango in the small and shifting spaces of the social dance floor and for the focus and creativity that this requires. This has led him to pursue movements that allow for the fullest expression of the music and dynamic within the couple while being well suited for a crowded floor. What Eric most wants to share with other dancers are the things which work best on the social dance floor and feel great.
